Third Seed; [Action]

[Good evening, Luceti. It's just past sunset, and neighbors around House 26 might have noticed Neville outdoors a bit later than usual, fussing with an overgrown potted ivy. A wave of a wand and a ~~cheated~~ mumbled incantation later, the plant has grown to twice its size. From there, it's a bit of a boring magic show while he works with ineffective spells, some of them providing mobility to the little vines; mostly, though, there's nothing. Fully engrossed in his work, he doesn't notice some of the vines loosely coiling around him until they begin contracting against his forearms. He yelps in surprise and sets to work stunning the wispy strands, which might have been easier if he'd work on mobilizing it before it was the size of a rather large cat.

Little help?]

Of course not. Though I imagine Muggles probably believe they are. They can be nasty things if one doesn't know what one's heading into.

Muggle is an interesting term. I wonder what I would be classified as, as mandrakes don't exist in my world, yet I can use magic.

If the buds live, I would like to see.

It's squib magic though, isn't it?

..If you're sure. [He escorts Naoya to a smallish patch near the corner. At this early stage, there's only a few sprouts standing tall like unmowed grass.] Mind you don't pull them up. I'm not sure what that would do just yet.

Squib?

[He follows, peering at them.]

Interesting. How long until you think they'll be ready?

A squib is a person from a wizarding family who can't use magic. ...It's a terrible thing to be. [There's a hint of sadness as he says this, but it goes away quickly enough.]

I don't know if they ever will. Once they've sprouted some more secure roots, I'm going to transfer them into pots and bring them inside where I can control how much noise gets out once their voices get stronger. But it's mostly just a theory right now... I don't know if the charms I put on the seeds will hold out long enough.

So you think I can't use magic?

Hm. [Thoughtful, for a moment.] Have you talked to the forest spirit here?

Not at all. There are plenty of charmed items and temporary spells available for nonwizards. Isn't your magic something like that? [It's the only way Neville's been able to understand the magic from different worlds here. Give him a minute, he's pureblooded.]

I haven't been to see any of the spirits here, though one of my friends knows all of them, I think. [He also suspects it might have something to do with why she's acting strangely lately.]

No. It uses an item, but it's not charmed. Not more than your wands in any case.[He stops at that. There's the matter of him being able to summon demons as well, but he's not going to go there.]

You might try talking to the forest one.

What's yours called?

I'd rather not, actually.

COMPS. [He pulls it out, it does admittedly look like a muggle toy.]

Suit yourself.

[Well, Neville has no frame of reference for what muggle toys actually are, so it's kind of just a box to him.] And does your comps harness magical ability the way our wands do?

Yes. Although it's technology based more than magic, as yours seem to be. [He's actually not too sure on it because he doesn't know how wands work, but he knows the COMPS aren't fake magic, in any case.]

I'm sure Hermione would be fascinated by it. [Whereas Neville himself is kind of lost by all the talk of teknolijee.] Perhaps you should show it to her one day.

I don't believe we're acquainted.

Edited 2010-05-30 05:10 (UTC)

Hm. [He trails off thoughtfully,making a mental note to introduce him to her.]

[Although this will most likely score him an invite, this will probably be a bad thing. Unless he's able to wiggle out of that he's not really Naoya, the one who made the COMPS. He probably won't, but at the moment he's not suspecting that anything will further come of it.]

I need to be off.

Keep me updated, if you like. If you write my name into the journal, I'll get back to you. [Because he doesn't have a place he's really living, at the moment.]

And thanks for the advice. [About Draco, he means. It's been a while since he's had the chance to tease "Little Loki".]
